PMP NextGenRx
A new era in the fight against prescription drug abuse.

Controlled Substance Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PMPs) play an indispensable role in the struggle to control prescription drug abuse nationwide, and have three overall guiding principles, ensuring that:

  • Controlled substances are properly dispensed to legitimate patients.
  • Patients utilizing multiple physicians and/or committing fraud are quickly identified.
  • Clinicians with a pattern of inappropriate prescribing and dispensing are pinpointed.

PMPs improve clinical decision-making, constrain prescription drug misuse and abuse, and identify sources of inappropriate prescribing and dispensing, thus helping to realize our ultimate goal of saving lives from this menace. Regrettably, states have reported several shared challenges with their PMP technology, including outdated information, poor customer support, and long response times for inquiries and reports.

PMP NextGenRx is a leading edge state-of-the-art solution developed by PMP Administrators to precisely deal with these challenges and prepare the PMP, and those who rely on it, to operate in an interconnected world. Our cloud-based solution includes a full range of PMP services which facilitates the collection of controlled substance and other prescription data and reporting on prescribing and dispensing habits. PMP NextGenRx's flexibility allows implementations specific to state legislative and regulatory mandates in order to monitor controlled substance patterns at multiple levels.
